A few thoughts, OK questions

Bush's speech last night really puzzles me. I think Rove may have really lost it. Bush suggests an FDR like program to reconstruct the Gulf. Ignoring for a moment it will be totally fucked up with typical Bushian incompetence and cronyism, why did he do that? It will appeal to people who are still going to think he is the lowest form of life on the earth no matter what he does. Just a few days ago we were talking about how Bush would start really pandering to his base. His Gulf Reconstruction Project will/has really pissed them off. Although he says otherwise, his plans of further tax reductions are toast. If his Social Security dismantling wasn't already dead it is now. If anyone has any thoughts on this feel free to share.
